Yep. That Steam Machine will probably cost more than a PC would a short time ago thanks to RAMpocolypse.

Zmiinyi defenders: "Russian warship, go fuck yourself."

Optimistic read is that they are delaying because they want to hit a reasonable price point and they need to make sure they have enough supply at the right cost.
We have, accordingly, always had plenty of excellent lawyers, though we often had to do without even tolerable administrators, and seen destined to endure the inconvenience of hereafter doing without any constructive statesmen at all.

LOL at paying that much for a console.

The price could be justified if it could actually reliably deliver 60fps at 4K resolution across the steam library, as advertised, but it instead it's using a 3+ year-old mobile graphics card plus massive upscaling to hit the performance level of a base PS5.

The device either should have either been shipped last year at 600-700 or should have been delayed and redesigned to use an RDNA 4 level chip.
